Join us to celebrate the Spring Equinox on Saturday 26th March!

Meet at Outdoor People Community Shop at 11am for a Family Wild Walk. We’ll explore some of our local greenspaces as we make our way to the Garden of Earthly Delights. From 12-3pm, we will have a big shared picnic and enjoy gardening and nature crafting at the community garden. And playing, of course!

Bring picnic foods for yourself to share and a mug or cup for a hot drink. Don’t forget to wear weather-appropriate clothing. 

The event is free. Everyone is welcome; invite your friends and neighbours. 

For more information, email beth@outdoorpeople.org.uk 

Wild Walks – ‘adventures for children to take their adults on’ – are short walks of about 2km (taking about 2 hours), perfect for 3-7 year olds, and with lots of adventure and discovery for their adults and older siblings.

As a community, every two weeks, we go on adventures exploring our local green spaces in Hackney and nearby. The aim is to create an environment where children feel they have permission to play outdoors, connect with nature and have fun!

If you would like to join any of our Wild Walks please email beth@outdoorpeople.org.uk, and Beth - our Community Coordinator - will book you and your family in. It's free - all we ask is you pay it forward by taking a friend for a walk in the future...
